<TITLE>Nominees for ACS Board, Chair & Exec</TITLE>

<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Dear cultural studies types,<BR>
<BR>
In coming months, the Association for Cultural Studies (ACS - the organisation that runs Crossroads) will be calling for nominations for a board election that will take place prior to the general assembly in Paris, 2012. <BR>
<BR>
After serving on this board as the Australia/New Zealand representative since 2004 I will not be seeking reelection.<BR>
<BR>
Our region is represented proportionately like others, and there is now a vacancy for two representatives from our region. So this is just some advance notice that the board will soon be seeking formal expressions of interest – and candidate statements – from those of you interested in running. All current ACS members will then be asked to vote.<BR>
<BR>
As part of the election, all executive positions are also up for nomination, which means that anyone considering running as a regional rep has the opportunity to run for Chair, Vice Chair, Organisational Secretary, etc. <BR>
<BR>
With this in mind, I am very keen to encourage and invite all scholars in our region, particularly the established leaders in our field, to consider offering themselves as candidates. <BR>
<BR>
Please feel free to contact me on any of the means below for further details.<BR>
<BR>
All the best,<BR>
<BR>
